The Ghana Education Service (GES) has stated that the feeding incident at Savelugu Senior High School (SHS) is an isolated case, assuring the public that it does not reflect the overall standard of student feeding nationwide.
The clarification follows a video circulating on social media about an alleged poor food situation at the school.
In a statement issued on Tuesday, GES emphasized that it takes the quality of student meals very seriously, noting that mismanagement of the feeding programme is a serious offence that undermines the government’s commitment to enhancing student welfare.
GES highlighted that student feeding across the country has generally improved, citing effective collaboration between Buffer Stock and school heads.
“Management wishes to assure parents and the public that the incident at Savelugu SHS is an isolated case,” the statement said, adding that investigations into the matter are ongoing.
The service also said its monitoring team will increase unannounced visits to schools to ensure compliance with feeding standards and urged school heads and stakeholders to report any challenges promptly for timely intervention.
